RacingNight Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I discovered a photograph depicting a R8 model with a redline starting at 8900rpm. However, I have been unable to locate any information on such a variant on reputable sources like Wikipedia. Is this a tune that has been modified or added after the original installation? Which iteration of the r8 is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenjibb Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Does the R8's redline grow when you go to a higher setting, either by a tuning or other means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffUpdate Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The value remains constant at 8500, regardless of the mode. Default configuration. It must be a melody. Personally, I would not place my confidence in a melody that allows the engine to reach a maximum speed of 8900 revolutions per minute. If the manufacturing engineers have included tolerances up to 8500, I will put my confidence in their work and proceed accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoein Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The correct value is 8700 RPM, not 8500 RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finestey Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The ROW variant of the last R8 GT RWD has a redline of 8700, whereas the North American version maintains a redline of 8500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziinsig Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The redline of the Gen-1 V10 is 8,700 RPM in this US automobile. I cannot provide information on the redline of Gen-2 models. To the best of my knowledge, there is no factory specification for an 8,900 redline. Therefore, I believe that this value is just the result of a tuning modification.

NotePapa Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I have never previously seen this, but in vehicles equipped with digital tachometers, does the installation of a tune that increases the redline limit often appear on the display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypabl Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The cost for mine is 8,700 units, and a tune may easily provide you with more revolutions per minute. For instance, the maximum engine speed of my B7 RS4 was increased from 8,250 rpm to 8,800 rpm with the Jackal tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreexPatty Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 After tuning my E92 M3, the redline was increased to between 8700 or 8900 RPM, however I am uncertain of the exact value without checking the tachometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
